[quote IronMac][quote M A V I C]I've been in a couple hundred cities in the past month. Do you really expect me to go to each that had poor water quality and ask that they hike it?
Do you drink bottled water at home then?
No. I drink tap or filtered tap water when I'm home. I read the water reports here. I know what my plumbing is like and where the water comes from. When I'm in a town 200 miles from nowhere and its not even on the map, and the only things around are copper mines, I drink bottled water.

Are you trying to say that municpal water causes cancer? Why aren't you then insisting that your local authorities increase water taxes as a health issue?
I'm saying, in some cases water - even in municipalities - is not safe to drink. Just because one's in a city, as noted above, doesn't mean the water supply is from the city or that it's safe.

Wow! Really? That's something like six different cities every day.
Yep. 6000+ miles and 10 states.
